How to Boil an Egg {or Egg Salad Delight}

January 23, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! The last time I made hard-boiled eggs…there was a bit of a disaster.  You would think that making a hard-boiled egg would be pretty basic, right?  Isn’t this one of the first things one learns how to make?  After mac n cheese and pb&j? I was in the mood for eggs today and…

Red in the Face

January 17, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

{Dear Diary} 1-12-12

January 12, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Dear Diary, Unglueing my eyes from the glow of my laptop screen, I gaze outdoors and see light, soft flurries.  The wind whips them into a furry and reminds me that winter does still exist. The grey sky makes me feel gloomy and lonely.  I want to stay holed up in my house in my…
